Overview

Overview

Users often choose to hide sensitive information such as portfolio values while using the app in public. The interaction needed to feel instant, intuitive, and reassuring without disrupting the overall experience.

Hide-Unhide Feature

Hide-Unhide Feature

The Hide/Unhide feature was designed for the portfolio summary section to give users more privacy and control over their financial data. With this option, users can quickly hide sensitive values such as total investment or portfolio worth when viewing the app in shared or public spaces, and unhide them when they want full visibility.

Approach

Approach

I explored motion that smoothly transitioned between the hidden and visible states while maintaining the user's context. The animation was kept lightweight & intuitive to reinforce the action, making the interaction feel responsive without becoming distracting.

Commodities Banner

Commodities Banner

The next project I worked on was the Commodities Banner. It was designed as a newly launched, one-time view element. It appeared only once, specifically when users landed on the commodities page, ensuring that the launch announcement felt timely, contextual, and non-intrusive.

Learnings

Working on these animations taught me that effective motion isn't about making interfaces look dynamic—it's about improving communication. I learned how subtle transitions, thoughtful timing, and immediate feedback can make interactions feel more intuitive while maintaining the trust and simplicity expected in a financial product.
